I agree with previous poster, stop adding cereal to bottles and unless a Dr is telling you to limit milk/food and she needs to loose weight, don't worry about it. They loose their 'baby weight' the more active they become.

Not sure why you need to put oatmeal in her bottles all the time. I don't think it's necessary really. So I would stop that. She's almost 6 months so you can start solids soon anyway. But depending on what her weight is, I wouldn't try to force her to lose weight, unless it was suggested by your dr if she is overweight by too much. A lot of babies are chunky at this age and will most likely grow out of it when she gets older and more active. I wouldn't worry about it :)
